Can Teens Get SmartLipo or Mesotherapy?

July 30, 2008
Asked By:taylo in Madison, IN

My daughter just turned 17. She has lost 63 lbs over 1 1/2 years and is 5'6 and now weighs 148. She has saggy arms (area below the triceps. She also has extra fat around the abdomen but this doesn't bother her as much. Should we consider smart lipo or mesotherapy? I'm concerned that she may be too young. Is this procedure safe for 17 yr old girl or should she wait?
